  • MAG Cost: 500

Even though it requires some grinding for Junah to reach her true potential and have access to the best archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio, there is also the option to go slightly off the mandatory path to increase her offensive power in other ways. One of them is having the character study the Mage class.

Elemental spells can be useful to add even more offensive power to the character, combined with the support abilities she possesses to deal damage. Those who wish to create an even more potent build for Junah can keep an eye on passives like Magic Font, which increases the user's total MP by 15%.

6 Healer

Add Secondary Roles For Junah

Healer is not necessarily an archetype that will greatly impact Junah's development as a character, but overall, it is a class that should always be present in some character, offering support and sustain during fights. Healing spells are useful at all times in the game, especially in boss battles, something this archetype specializes in.

Considering the variety of spells and skills for Junah, she can benefit from some possibilities that the Healer Lineage has to offer during the game. Besides the healing abilities themselves, this class has access to Light damage spells, which can be equipped later in other classes and increase the possibilities she has during bosses without giving up the best archetypes.

5 Faker

Debuff Skills Are Excellent For Junah

Despite already starting with an excellent option, Junah can benefit from abilities available in other archetypes to become an even better character. One of these is the Faker, unlocked at the first friendship level with Alonzo, and it is a class focused on reducing the effectiveness of enemy lines.

For players just starting Altus' new title, here are a few essential tips to keep in mind.

Additionally, for those who like to play with luck, Faker's Roguery is a skill made precisely for that, as it has chances to cause Forget on enemies and can randomly add or remove turn icons. The other spells are focused on support, with the vast majority aiming to remove attributes from opponents, such as attack, Hit/Evasion, or even defense.

4 Trickster

Trickster Offers Unique Support Options

  • MAG Cost: 24000

The lineage of archetypes unlocked by Alonzo has some amusing mechanics, dealing much with the randomness of the game that can favor or even harm the team, such as the Trickster. It is a class that Junah will eventually need to use if she desires access to her exclusive archetype and is a good support.

Besides Lucky Slash, which gives random Slash damage to an enemy, potentially being huge or simply irrelevant, this archetype shines more in debuffing enemies, being able to reduce attack and defense with a skill. Gift MP is an ability that can also be useful, allowing the user to transfer their own MP to a chosen ally.

3 Masked Dancer

Junah's First Archetype Is Excellent

  • MAG Cost: 8250

Even being the character's initial class, Masked Dancer is one of the best archetypes for Junah in the game and is the one that should remain equipped during her first hours in the group. This is because she already starts with some levels in this option, besides not needing to meet other prerequisites to have it.

Moreover, the Masked Dancer has one of the most unique mechanics in the game, making it also one of the best overall archetypes in Metaphor: ReFantazio, as it has the ability to change weaknesses and abilities according to the mask it wears. This item, which can be created when interacting with More at the Akademia, gives Junah a lot of utility and adaptability to the game's challenges.

2 Persona Master

Despite being in a completely different setting from other Atlus games, the developer still managed to include some references in Metaphor: ReFantazio, such as Persona Master, one of the best archetypes for Junah in the game. Besides inheriting some abilities from the previous class, she gains more variety by being able to inflict weaknesses on enemies.

  • MAG Cost: 28600

Being an archetype exclusive to Junah, it is also the best option for her in Metaphor: ReFantazio. Representing all the character's evolution during the bond formed, the Royal Masked Dancer retains the characteristics of the two previous versions but manages to be even more powerful.

In addition, Junah's build in Metaphor: ReFantazio can be complemented by the abilities she inherited from other archetypes, mainly from the Faker Lineage, to have even more chances to weaken enemies. Combined with the archetype's own skills, such as Magic Surge, which increases her magic damage, and Ruin's Flameflower, which deals damage and also removes buffs from the target, the character becomes incredible.
